I just suddenly clicked buy it now button for the below films without asking first the seller.

But can you guys identify them:

1. Are they all 400 feet ?. You can see the original price label there...
2. Are they in colour?
3. How do you think their colour condition now (based on films stocks)

ps: they are sold for GBP 10...not bad I think

thanks,

Based on the prices that can be seen on the boxes (£37.00?) they should be 400ft versions. That was the price of a 400ft reel, from Mountain Films/Mailmaster, back in the late 1970's.

"Dracula" and "Connection" will be in colour (actually stated on "Connection" box "Colour/Sound") and the Brando film will be B/W (That is how it was filmed).

As for the film condition, I would probably think they will be "faded", but as you say, £10.00 may not be a bad price for all three.
